I am just starting to research my family. My father was William (Duke) Earl Gidley born in Wabash, Indiana and was originally married to my mother, Daine Lucille Turner, both born in Wabash, Indiana. My grandmother's name was Elizabeth (not sure if this is correct)and my Grandfather's name is Earl Gidley. I am not sure, but my family may have come from Alabama. I am trying to find out from which country my family originally immigrated. I was actually adopted and have had my name changed to Abbott. So, I would like to research my birth family origin before it is lost somehow.

Thanks!

Brad
